Fees for Service
Our fee-for-service model is based on an hourly cost. After we receive the project request and meet with you, we will provide you with a quote for the project. Internal clients with a UM MoCode will receive a 20% discount.
In addition to the services listed below, we conduct all other bioinformatics analyses, including whole-genome assembly, protein-protein interaction modeling, biostatistics, and data management. Feel free to submit a project request, and we will schedule a meeting with you. For the Departmental “retainer” model and the Lab retainer model, please contact us.
Examples of the standard service fee:
Bulk RNA-seq:
For two conditions with three biological replicates, the quote will be $1000. Extra conditions and comparisons will incur an additional charge, as requested.
Single-cell RNA-seq:
For two conditions with two or three biological replicates, the quote will be $3800 to provide basic analysis, including integration, clustering and annotation, and gene expression analyses. Downstream analysis will incur an additional charge, as requested.
Spatial transcriptomes:
For two conditions with two or three biological replicates, the quote will be $3800 to provide basic analysis, including integration, clustering and annotation, and gene expression analyses. Downstream analysis will incur an additional charge, as requested. Visium HD spatial transcriptomes will cost $4500 to provide the same analysis due to their significantly larger dataset.
Variant calling with WGS or WES data:
For organisms with a genome size of less than 5GB (e.g., humans, mice, maize), the cost to initiate a project is $600, followed by $65 for each additional sample. For bigger genomes, we will provide a quote after the meeting.
Metagenomics:
It will cost $250 for each plate to process our Qiime2 pipeline (16s, 18s, and ITS) and provide the default results. A meeting will be needed for de novo assembly in metagenomics before we can provide a quote.
